Oh i like where you get them? Are they all the same size for the e46 wheels? I have carbon fibre badges on the car have always meant to get the wheels changed to match defo want to get it done now as i am hopefully getting the wheels refurbed.

Sorry only saw this post now I got them from the ebay seller that shblob posted. The actual emblem is very good quality but the plastic clip that holds them in is about 1mm to small so they were a bit rattley... tiny bit of silicone on each one and they are perfect

Can someone advise me on leather cream?

When it's applied and buffed, it needs 48 hours to achieve maximum protection ability.

Does using the car as normal, i.e. sitting on the treated seats remove the cream hence making all the work a futile effort?

I read on another forum its best do it in a warm enviroment like a sunny day and leave the car open. They said the car shouldnt be drove but if you needed to drive it put a plastic bag on the seat..

Got my quote from Wheel Wizards today to split my wheels and polish them, €280 and I will be without them for the week.

Need to organise some storage of the car or else a spare set. Hassle I thought you could just leave your car in for the duration of it!

I always do mine when I know I won't have to drive it for a day or two and leave the doors open when you do it.....it helps mine soak in better anyways.
